    * include/freetype/internal/tttypes.h, src/sfnt/ttload.c, src/sfnt/sfobjs.c, src/sfnt/sfdriver.c, src/base/ftnames.c: fixing the SFNT name table loader to support various buggy fonts. it now ignores empty name entries, entries with invalid pointer offsets and certain fonts containing tables with broken "storageOffset" fields. name strings are now loaded on demand, which reduces the memory requirements for a given FT_Face tremendously (for example, the name table of Arial.ttf is about 10Kb and contains 70 names !!) finally, this is a _quick_ fix. The whole name table loader and interface will be rewritten in a much more cleanly way shortly, once CSEH have been introduced in the sources.

  •   Special notes to Unix users
      ===========================
    
      Please   read  the  file   "README.UNX",  it   contains  important
      information  regarding  the   installation  of  FreeType  on  Unix
      systems, especially GNU based operating systems like GNU/Linux.
    
      FreeType 2's library is called `libfreetype', FreeType 1's library
      is called `libttf'.  They are *not* compatible!
    
    
      FreeType 2.1.1
      ==============
    
      Please   read  the  docs/CHANGES   file,  it   contains  IMPORTANT
      INFORMATION.
    
      Read  the  files "docs/INSTALL"  or  "docs/BUILD" for installation
      instructions.
    
      Note  that the  FreeType 2  documentation  is now  available as  a
      separate package from our sites.  See:
    
        ftp://ftp.freetype.org/pub/freetype2/ftdocs-2.1.1.tar.bz2
        ftp://ftp.freetype.org/pub/freetype2/ftdocs-2.1.1.tar.gz

      Reports
      =======
    
      Please  report  bugs  by  e-mail to  `devel@freetype.org'.   Don't
      forget to send  a detailed explanation of the  problem -- there is
      nothing worse  than receiving a  terse message that only  says "it
      doesn't work".
    
    
    
      Enjoy!
